Health care professionals are expected to demonstrate competent practice within the society. Determining sufficient of clinical assessments and the evaluation of the nursing students has redesigned a large amount of nursing school curriculum to remain relevant. Assessing students educational outcomes based on current clinical practices can be more challenging than just relaying on typical classroom theory in which the evaluation of cognitive knowledge can be tested. Within the clinical setting, students are required to reach a particular level of competency in areas of knowledge, psychomotor, and safety. The clinical performance measurements and determining the how to grade the clinical course has caused debate and concern among nursing educators for years (McCarthy & Murphy, 2010). The purpose of this paper is to examine current assessment practices through current research : reflective journaling (self-evaluation), competency-based performance assessment, and faculty/agency personnel observation/communication that are designed accurately to document competency within the framework of accelerating and fluctuating needs in education and practice.
There are numerous requirements that have been established by national agencies and association to perform competence-nursing practice in the health care system.
